Its nice to see Gordon and Gladys Kurt back on the farm after wintering in Kitchener., Farm, Home Improvement Competition The 1978 International Plowing Match will be held in Huron County (just east of Wingham) on Septem- ber 26 to 30, only 17 months from now. Much of the necessary planning, undertaken by the vari- ous local committees, is well in hand. However, an important contest to run in conjunction with the match is of interest to many farm and home owners as well. The Farmstead and Home Im- provement Competition is a project which requires immediate attention from all those who intend to enter. Prizes will be offered for the most improved and/or most attractive properties not only in the farming community but in the county's towns and villages as well. Those who have not yet received entry and application forms may pick them up at the offices of the clerks of the municipalities in which they reside. Here are a few hints which will provide a guide to participation in the competition. The first step in improving farmsteads and dwellings is a general clean-up. Dismantle and remove old buildings that are beyond repair; remove trash, useless machinery and old vehic- les; repair or remove old or broken-down fences. Application of paint to the house, farm buildings, mailbox, fences and related structures adds much to general appearance. Display of the property owner's name in a prominent location is desirable. Road entrance and driveway must not be neglected. Attractive entrances are important as a general first impression. New plantings or improving the condition of the shrubbery, trees, flowerbeds and lawns will enhance the overall appearance. PINETREE CRESTENETS BY AUBREY HIGGINS With a day such as we have today, the assurance of spring is really here. We wilt soon be able to, be outside for a period of the day again and get the Old blood in our veins thinned out after being bundled up all winter. Believe me, it is not only youth that has thoughts of spring. I Watched an old lady today and was absolutely sure she was thinking what a, great day this would have been to make soft soap out of the ashes she had saved from the wood burning stove. She was wondering if she could remember just the right amount of Gillette Lye to use or the quantity of the other ingredients. Also, an old gentleman remem- bered how he put on a pair of rubber boots and took the, long handled shovel and cleaned out the drainage furrows this time of the year. Yes, a lot of our memories about spring are so different from what is actually happening today and yet nature has not changed a particle. The other day there was a couple sitting together. They had known each other in their youth and he used to take her for a drive after church on several occasions (horse and buggy). There was a romance then, the same as now, at least that is what it was called. This last, while I have had the opportunity of watching a man use a backhoe and bulldozer combina- tion machine. This machine was in perfect working order and never sounded at any time as though it w,as overloaded. It never stopped movement until the job was completed. That man knew how to take care of his machine and how to operate it to the full capacity for which it was designed. Today I happened to see a machine of exactly the same design and near the same age. Now this one was squeaking all over for lack of lubrication and mechanical care. The first operator would without any doubt handle four times as much dirt in a given time as the second one could. I wonder if this is not a very true example' of what we do with our lives. This does not mean that the good operator could not hit an unknown high tension wire and be killed instantly or have some crippling disease 'overtake him and ruin his body. While he was able, he was putting foot prints in the sands of time, while the other was just stumbling along. A great number of us live with a purpose in life and do all the things we know how to, just to make this a better place for all of us to live. Others do not seem to have a real purpose or ambition and are quite willing to just let things take care of themselves. Even some of the sixty-one here at Pinecrest try to help themselves while others do not. So 'age has nothing to do with filling our place in this world, but the individual themselves has to have the desire and will to do their part. Do you? We need your help and strength in this modern world, not just memories. THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1977 Whitechurch W.I. Held Annual
